Welcome to Roses & Thorns. All books receive honest reviews, regardless of our sources. We are no longer accepting submissions. While the blog will remain live, I cannot continue reviewing books. My own writing is suffering from keeping up with two blogs. I will post my last review on May 29, 2017. Thank you Rose and Donna for your help, authors for the (mostly) great reading, and readers for following us.

Summer Lovin’ by Donna Cummings

Blurb:

Everyone should have at
least one wild fling on their resumé.

Mia volunteers to dog-sit
for two weeks, giving her a chance to figure out the next step in her life, and
career. She discovers it's not easy chasing after a puppy with a shoe fetish,
but there's a reward for all her troubles: the hunky guy next door.

Luke is a workaholic
forced to take two weeks' vacation, and at first he's sure the downtime might
kill him. But then he gets to know his temporary neighbor. She's sexy and fun,
and all of a sudden, two weeks isn't nearly enough time.

Review:

Summer
Lovin’ is a cute
little romp involving two people taking time off who are brought together by an
animated dust mop who plays cupid. The puppy’s name is Bootsie, but through
most of the book they call him Hellboy, because he’s so good at getting into
trouble. One could wonder how much
trouble a little Bichon Frise could possibly get himself into, but Hellboy
manages to find enough mischief to keep Mia and Luke together for their entire
two week sojourn—just enough time to cement their relationship, and worm his
way into their hearts and lives. After
all—when Mia and Luke get together, they’ll be right next door; he can visit
them any time. Summer Lovin’ was a fun diversion for an hour or so on a lazy
summer day.
